> My opinion is that many psych drugs actually cause these bizarre kinds of things that did not exist prior to the usage of those meds. The adrenals just can't keep up with the stress and strain asked of them. The meds put a lot of strain on them.Thats interesting bleauberry. I will look into having my levels checked.
